Polling stations across the country have opened with millions set to cast their votes over the course of the day to determine who will be the next Prime Minister and who will represent them locally as MPs.

Booths opened at 7am and will close at 10pm tonight. Votes will then be counted through the night to determine who has come out on top.

In Hull, the constituencies of Hull North, Hull East and Hull West and Hessle are all being contested along with East Yorkshire and Beverley & Holderness.

A decision will also be made on which MP will takeover the Brigg & Goole and Haltemprice & Howden constituencies.

The results in Hull and the East Riding are expected to be declared from around 3am on Friday morning.

Counts for the three Hull constituencies will take place at the Guildhall whereas leisure centres in Beverley , Anlaby and Driffield will host the counts for the rest of the county.

Anyone wanting to vote had to be registered by May 22 and you can only vote at your nearest polling station.
